This, that, and all between.
Remember the story, “The Crocodile Who Carried the Moon”, a folktale where a crocodile carries the moon over its tail, highlighting a time when the moon wasn’t in the sky. Here is the real picture complimenting the story – the moon at noon, unreal blue of the sky and the shapely cloud perfect illustration.

Wah! Aapne to batti jala di.
Finally it is raining in Gurgaon. After the showers on June 30th, which I thought was the onset of monsoons and expecting that it would rain regularly, nothing like that happened. Rains ditched us. It has been hot and humid ever since. Today, 16th July at about one in the afternoon the first showers landed after a strong breeze. The morning had been sunny and clear. Look at the picture of the blue sky and the cloud just a couple of hours back, there wasn’t an iota of hint that we will get rain. It’s another thing that it has been pouring in Delhi but not in these parts.
Finally, that heady smell has hit my nostrils. Here on the terrace, when the raindrops hit the red sandstone, Petrichor is not the same as when the rains land on dry soil. Nonetheless, it is equally intoxicating and reminds me of many ghazals and popular Hindi songs.
Ankahi. Unsaid.
